    there is another very handy tip, if your hunted, just run into a room where you have to only wield one door (to save ressources), if a room is fully wielded the hunt immediatly stop, that way you slow down the aggressive in the mission so hardly, i made it to threw the first part of mission 1 with full health, full ressources as they can carry, 3 level up to class, 1 had one bit missing ;) and the mission still on medium aggro, of course that was my second start of the game after find out initially some clues, the game is great, hope they make DLC with new campaigns

    Dude this game rocks. Im a seasoned gamer at 36, played everything...has to be the first game i turned down to story cause a) damn this game is _actually_ hard and b) wanted to try and search for everything (datapads, story driven stuff, etc.) without the stress mechanic (my own personal, not the games). Really happy picking this up on sale but i would have paid full price had i known it was this good.

  • @ilmarinen79
    @ilmarinen79 Год назад +19

    Things that I would have loved to internalize before starting (medium difficulty):
    1. the tools you gather are probably the most important resource - don't use them for command points unless your are in desperate situation. Sometimes you get gifted more tools than you can carry and then at later missions you may get close to zero for a while and still be at situations where you direly would need rest/repair.
    2. The game seems to be essentially running differently on normal vs. slow-mode. The spawning/activity rate of aliens seems to slow down close to zero on slow mode and on normal you'd get swarmed by patrols etc. during the same distance you'd move on slow mode. I'm not sure I like that decision as it feels one is exploiting the game while mostly on slow-mode. Maybe these have been changed as I played the buggy early version...
    3. Always try to be on a mission and avoid the events that pass a day, unless you are very low on supplied that you might get. I think I burned a week+ on early "vacations" and felt I really upped the difficulty I faced as I didn't know the consequences.
    4. Try to use sentry cannons every time you get more enemies coming as they seem to do more dmg/ammo than the team, which can burn trough ammo very easily. Also make sure to protect the cannons as you probably don't have too many extra tools to spend repairing them.

  • @Anty2004
    @Anty2004 Год назад +64

    A quick tip, your auto turret and APC don't alert aliens when they kill an alien, so if you know one is coming and you have time, or you know their patrol route, pop a turret and hide nearby for it to pop them off and then continue.
    Turrets can get busted though and consume your ammo so you'll need tools and ammo to keep them going. It takes a good 5 or 6+ seconds to put one down.
    This is a little exploity so it's yp to you if you want to play with this style or thematically.

    • @niknak8636
      @niknak8636 Год назад +6

    That part where you mentioned you had a marine with an amputated arm who later returned with a prosthetic was especially cool because I'm currently working on the refinery mission and where I ran into the first "chosen" and this was where I had my first totally incapacitated Marine. I thought it might have been a model glitch or clipping, but I couldn't see my Marine's leg, but I did see that it was on injured status and that it wasn't something first aid would fix.
    The more I thought about it, the more I wondered "If I was able to secure her in the ARC and she had a debilitating injury to the leg, if it actually was severed, I wonder if she'll come back with a prosthetic."
    So thank you for verifying that, that's actually insanely cool.

    There is utility to cover if you use the hide. If there is a hunt and are being surrounded, if you can find a room with some cover, usually a one way in room, hide behind the cover. The aliens usually don’t look through the entire room so it can save being detected

    Quick little hint on the APC. You can summon the APC to a particular spot that is on the way to your next destination. If you stand in front of it it will stop and as long as you stay in front of it it will offer you coverage while moving to your next spot. Helps keep you healthy and save ammo

      I think a good squad size would be 6 to 8. Also the ability to split squad mates up into 2, 4, or 6 man teams you can control separately. This would allow map control and more tactical options. It would also mimic the movie Aliens and be more lore friendly as the basic Marine Squad is between 8 to 12 squad mates.

    I've played the tactical W40k games so I already know that the green dots are used for cover against ranged attacks, and I was right, it was not just Aliens, there are human enemies too. And this game is really meant to be played in Stealth as much as possible, this is the vital tip that you missed, you can't just go around guns blazing or you'll end up facing Onslaughts every minute. Not sure what the Onslaught feels like in lower difficulties but in Nightmare, it's a mess.

    Just starting out, I was wondering about the Stress De-Buffs (trauma).
    Each time you rest, you reduce stress by 100, and each block of 100 drops one of the De-Buffs.
    So... after a mission, I see that Trauma is still there.
    How long will that stay? Do I need a phy doc or is it just time, or something else to get rid of those?
    Tip: If you are full health and low stress, but just did 20 minutes of walking around, dropping motion sensors, and getting boxes, you don't need to seal a door to save.
    Just use an elevator. That will save the game.

    You can use the grenade launcher on the vent if you need to get past, it blows the alien up a bit and makes him pop out the vent.
    And the cover thing is handy when you have human cult members shooting at you, take cover and you can duck pop up shoot & duck behind cover again, if you do it quick enough the guys bob up and down shooting 😂
    Walking is quieter than running and you can't shoot while running so walking is usually best (use your vehicle to get to places and if you have too many aliens the truck gives you cover if your near it)

    Big tip that helped me out, play the game the way they want you to play. Im near the end on Hard and you honestly have to abuse the stealth mechanics in some missions. Pay attention to the bar on the top right corner, game is nice enough to tell you when its gonna start sending bullshit your way. Use the slow mo, if you see an alien doing a pounce attack or a charge, NO MATTER WHAT, give your Marines a run order to move out the path, then a move order so they start shooting again. You'd rather take any damage you're gonna receive than have one get knocked down and abducted. The abductions drive me CRAZY, they're ABSOLUTE bullshit 🤣🤣. Grenades with the slowdown are gonna get nerfed lol

Even on Easy, that yellow detection line fills faster than you can do anything that doesn't alert the area (hide or suppressed sniper) unless they're more than a screen away. The camera really needs to be able to zoom out a LOT farther. You can go from easy threat to medium in 2 encounters, too, if you teally get caught in it.

    • @simonarques5201

      I think it works pretty well, but sometimes you want a specific marine do a certain job and another one takes it places. and when stealthing and trying to find the good angle to silent snipe, the sniper sometimes is the last one to go out of its hiding, so the aliens are already starting to see you before you get line of sight.

    Another tip: Use the APC to save you during an onsluaght, that combined with supressive, flamthrower, and grenades could clear them out allowing for less materials being spent and keeping your marines alive. Or just get out before it commences.

    • @buggyman4567
      @buggyman4567 Год назад

      Just make a run for the APC, if you can't, weld a door with two entrances. But cancel the weld for the door at the very beginning, that way any xeno that tries taking that way will be stuck in a loop. Allowing for an easy kill. Hope that made sense

    I suggest any new players quickly learn the stealth mechanics and try to play a cat and mouse game as much as possible. Your squad are weak, fearful and terrible shots. You get exp for completeing missions, not killing numerous xenos(apart from massive onslaughts, but you dont wanna trigger many of those.)

    It's pretty easy once you understand how it works, I've completed it 4 times over, I'm very experienced in games like this as I've been playing xcom for years. This is a lot easier than xcom so kind of like a walk in the park for me, but still, can be daunting to the people who have little to no experience in these type of games. Solid game though.
    One tip I'd give, as simple as it sounds, take your time, walk around, dont always run around. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, I think that's how the saying goes.

  • @amitypredator9385

    Enjoying the game, but some of the controls are a bit cumbersome and glitchy. Trying to issue orders while Under fire is hard enough without the menu not responding in a timely fashion.
    Also the additional controls could have been streamlined a bit. I got one of my guys upgraded to a tech and trying to switch between his drone and issue orders to the marines isn't easy. The aforementioned glitchy controls don't make that easier either.

    I use the cover system for onslaughts. It forces the aliens to come around barrier to then flank and attack. However their life bars by the time they make it, have inversely decreased, if they are still standing, to the progress they have made.
    I will say also to drop motion trackers, to have a better sense of the alien count on your map.
    Flares are also great in tandem with suppressive fire.

    I love the Alien(1979) franchise. I love and still play Alien: Isolation & Aliens: Fireteam Elite. I took a chance on Aliens: Dark Decent. I’m still early in the game where I can’t change classes or weapons yet. I’m past the tutorial part. It reminds me of isometric survival horror games like Sanitarium. I’m just having issues with the combat. I have pause turned off so it’s got the slow motion instead. I really don’t get the combat yet. I’m not a strategy game player. I feel the slow motion messes with the combat and I just don’t know what I’m doing half the time and I cancel the slo mo most of the time but I haven’t given up on it yet. I gotta experience the full game for the story at least. I hope this video helps me!

      Dark Decent for a more true to Canon, art style, and feel to the movies. Specifically Aliens.
      Fireteam if you want a more fast paced Left 4 Dead style game set in the Aliens world. While it is lore friendly such as the art style and taking elements from Promethus and its sequels it definitely leans more on the silly side with dialog and Aliens aren't a threat at all unless you go out of your way to make the game hard via difficulty modifiers. It's a Colonial Marine power fantasy game while Dark Decent reminds you Marines are just humans and therefore die easily as shown in the movies and most expanded material.
      Both are great games but cater to specfic audiences.
